Description:

In Jean Renoir's visually arresting first color feature film, the director masterfully captures the beauty of India on location as he narrates the story based on Rumer Godden's novel. The River delicately weaves together the coming-of-age experiences of three young women against the timeless backdrop of the Bengal river that flows through their lives. Renoir's profound grasp of India and its people imbues this cinematic gem with a deep understanding of the delicate balance between fleeting emotions and enduring creation, making it an unmissable exploration of human connection in the face of the ever-changing world around us.
